Ethereum Classic price alerts, set from how ETC actually moves
An Ethereum Classic price alert watches ETC and messages you when it hits a level or moves by a percentage you choose. Ethereum Classic moved 1.84% on a typical day over the last 365 days — roughly 1.5 times Bitcoin's typical day, so Bitcoin's thresholds are too tight for it. On one day in ten it moved more than 5.28%, and its worst single day in the window was 23.01%. On that record, an 8% 24-hour alert fired about 0.8 times a month — rare enough to still be worth opening. CoinPriceAlert checks the condition on its servers, so it arrives with the app closed, free for 3 alerts.

What threshold should Ethereum Classic use?
Ethereum Classic moved 1.84% on a typical day over the last 365 days — roughly 1.5 times Bitcoin's typical day, so Bitcoin's thresholds are too tight for it. On one day in ten it moved more than 5.28%, and its worst single day in the window was 23.01%.
That is the number the threshold should come from, because an alert that fires on an ordinary day is one you learn to dismiss — and then you dismiss the one that mattered. The table below is an audit rather than a forecast: for each threshold it counts the days in the last 365 whose move exceeded it, which is exactly what a 24-hour percentage alert measures.
| 24-hour threshold | Fires per month | Fires per year |
|---|---|---|
| 2% | 14.1 | 171 |
| 3% | 8.9 | 108 |
| 5% | 3.6 | 44 |
| 8% | 0.8 ← rare enough | 10 |
| 10% | 0.3 | 4 |
| 15% | 0.2 | 2 |
| 20% | 0.1 | 1 |
| 25% | 0 | 0 |
| 30% | 0 | 0 |
The highlighted row is the tightest threshold that still fired three times a month or fewer for Ethereum Classic: 8%, about 0.8 times a month.
Ethereum Classic's worst day was roughly 13 times its typical one. That is a wide enough spread that a single threshold cannot do both jobs: something near 8% catches the days that matter, while anything near its median of 1.84% fires most weeks. If you want both, set the percentage alert at 8% and a separate price level at whichever number you would actually act on.

Three ETC alerts worth setting
- Ethereum Classic rises above $8.26 — 8% above today's $7.65. It fires once, then re-arms only when the price crosses back and crosses again.
- Ethereum Classic falls below $7.04 — the same distance underneath. If you hold ETC, this is the one that matters at 3am.
- Ethereum Classic moves 8% in 24 hours — direction-agnostic, and still the right alert wherever the price ends up.
Picking a ETC price level
At $7.65, the level most people will be watching on Ethereum Classic is $10.00 — 30.7% from here. Round numbers are not technical analysis, but they are where orders bunch up because everyone can see them, which makes them a sensible thing to be told about.
Ethereum Classic is 95% below its all-time high of $167.09. A drawdown that deep means the old high is history rather than a target, and it also means percentage moves off a low base look dramatic without much money changing hands. That is a good reason to size the threshold from the table above rather than from instinct.
Where ETC has been lately
Over the last seven days Ethereum Classic is 3.6% down, which is inside its normal range: a 8% alert would not have fired on the week as a whole. It is up 0.39% over the last day.
At 8%, Ethereum Classic will reach you less than once a month. That is rare enough to justify the alarm sound, which plays for 28 seconds on a channel that cuts through Do Not Disturb — a reasonable thing to turn on for an alert that almost never speaks, and an unreasonable one for an alert that fires weekly. Whichever you choose, the condition is evaluated on our servers rather than on your phone — and because the usual reason an alert app goes quiet is a revoked permission or a retired push token rather than the alert itself, the app checks that whole chain and names the broken link. Ethereum Classic's live chart, range and extended technicals are on its coin page if you would rather watch than be told.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set a Ethereum Classic price alert?
Open CoinPriceAlert, search for Ethereum Classic, and tap the bell on its row. Choose a price level — $8.26 and $7.04 are 8% either side of today's $7.65 — or a percentage move, then pick push, Telegram or email. No account is needed to start.
What percentage should an ETC alert use?
Start from this coin's own record rather than a rule of thumb. Ethereum Classic moved 1.84% on a typical day over the last 365 days, so an 8% 24-hour alert fired about 0.8 times a month. Anything tighter fires most days and trains you to swipe it away.
What price should I set an alert at for Ethereum Classic?
$10.00 is the nearest round level above today's $7.65, and round numbers are where other people's orders cluster. $8.26 and $7.04 are 8% either side, which is the distance this coin's own record says is worth hearing about.
Will a ETC alert wake me up?
It can, and at this threshold that is reasonable: 8% fires less than once a month on Ethereum Classic. There is an alarm sound that plays for 28 seconds on a channel that cuts through Do Not Disturb, set per alert. Quiet hours mute everything else overnight and the alerts still wait for you in Activity.
Is the Ethereum Classic alert free?
Yes. The free plan covers 3 active alerts across every market in the app, with price and 24-hour percentage alerts, the home screen widget and the daily digest, delivered by push, Telegram or email, with no card required.
Do ETC alerts work when the app is closed?
Yes. Every alert is evaluated on our servers against a live price feed, not on your phone, so it fires whether the app is open, closed or swiped away. The app shows you when the servers last checked, so you never have to take that on trust.
How far is Ethereum Classic from its all-time high?
95% below it. The high was $167.09 and ETC is $7.65 now. You can set an alert on that level directly, though the approach is usually more interesting than the number itself.
